okay, hands up, who invited inclined sit-ups?

Because if they are not the most excruciating human torture device ever, I don't know what is.

So the story goes that on this rainy Sunday afternoon a lazy-ass princess who was really bored decided that it may be productive to check out her gym. After all, the maintenance fee is paid every month, gouging a major portion of dad's Rupiah income. She didn't know it was actually hell discreetly packaged with bright lights, air freshener and a newly-installed HDTV.

She decided to try the dinky little machine shunned by humanity (all 4 of them) right in the middle of the room. As she got on to it, 25% of humanity looked at her with a mixture of disgust and pity. Disgust, because the lazy princess's shorts have ridden up to reveal way too much flesh. Pity, because... aww fuck it it's hard to do 3rd person narrative.

How on earth are you supposed to do like 100 over sit-ups at such a weird angle anyway? I'm sure it must be bad for your back. I did 35. Ish. By 20 I was breathless. By 27, my face was puce. By 32, I thought I would die. By 35, I died only to be resurrected by thoughts of caramel frap from Starbucks.

Meh. On the bright side, I didn't spend any money today. Thank the Lord for rainy weather.

On the days that it didn't rain, I have spent approximately......... a lot of money per day. On second thought purchasing a $40 Moleskin weekly planner may not have been the wisest decision. But it's so gorgeous, who could resist? And buying a gift from Tiffany's to welcome back one's boyfriend is just the proper thing to do. After all the long nights spent pouring over exam materials he needs to be greeted by something shiny.

Anyhoos... Saw the SATC movie trailer. My reaction was 'what the...?' because SJP just looks loopy in it. Like in her perfume ad. And I thought there were supposed to be 4 main stars? How come all the clips are of Carrie? The other 3 looked like flankers. That's so sad. I love Samantha's no-nonsense attitude to life. She's just as shopaholicky as Carrie but less whiny. But this is definitely a must-watch still for an all-girls outing. I miss girlie moments like those featured on the show. I want to grab a coffee and chill. Bitch. Gossip. Lament over clothes and shoes and boys.

Ahhh... nothing's better than a heart-to-heart with the girls.
